Bathing is not recommended for children with chickenpox and may lead to secondary skin infections.
Chickenpox occurs when the varicella-zoster virus infects the body and is highly contagious. Damage such as skin papules and blisters can occur. If excessive rubbing is done while bathing, the blisters can rupture and contact with household water may lead to secondary infections and aggravation of the condition. Therefore, bathing is generally not recommended during chickenpox.
During the chickenpox period, you should pay attention to keep the skin clean and dry, avoid scratching the skin at the herpes, and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, under the guidance of the doctor to actively treat.
